They're convinced this show is about how slavery rocks and we should bring it back in full force.

I was under the impression that it's based on a play a black man wrote?

I know black people are involved in the creation and they are being called Uncle Ruckuses.

But they'll even turn on other blacks if they don't like what they are producing despite the constant cries for more diversity.

They still go on about how their suffering is worse than the jews even though slavery ended over 150 years ago and there are Holocaust survivors that are still alive.

What sucks is youre going to have actual racist watching the show and praising it. This will only renforce the idea to these faggots that racism is creepin into media and its racist unless the nazis,dixies,cursades, and right wingers are the bad guys

They'll ruin any merit this show has and just add to the criticism. I think it's a bad idea to go through with this. Although I don't really like people's creativity being censored because of feelings. No one's forcing you to watch it.
 
It really does feel like you're not allowed to portray any negative actions nowadays without an unambiguously (POC, transgender, autistic) heroic character there to waggle their fingers and openly shame said negative action.

What happened to separating art from the artist?
 
I bet these people didn't complain about Dear White People.
 
It warms my heart good to see other people know about "Confederate States of America".

On topic though, it's hilarious that the outrage machine turns on this. It reminds me of what someone told me. Nigs want more movies and shows about their history and past (granted this is essentially an AU but w/e) but when they get it, there's always something about it that's wrong or offensive or something's wrong with the actors or directors or what the fuck ever. They nitpick it to death despite it being a good film or very well done doc (Free State of Jones I think was the movie's name had this happen to it. The Help had this happen to it.) Then get saddled with shitty literal nigger movies like a Madea movie or something like Soul Plane or Lottery Ticket. Something that enforces the stereotype instead of demolishing it or providing some history or obstacle hurdled. Being a stereotype apparently sells.


Personally, I wish people would touch on events that get glossed over or haven't been AU'd yet like what would have happened if we didn't hit the Gilded Age or what would happen if Civil Rights failed. Something like that with a lot of research and good what-ifs.

Or worse, Selma which was full of outright fabrications and nonsense and the director defended it by saying "people who care about history of the problem"

Lol, you should tell every SJW nerd that Draka is the best timeline. That's a series that really, really grinds their gears. Glory to the Race!

This is what the author of those books said about people who get offended from works of fiction:

“There is a technical term for someone who confuses the opinions of a character in a book with those of the author. That term is idiot.”
― S.M. Stirling

There has been an alternate timeline where the Confederates emerged victorious in the Civil War, but it lead to a stall situation in the World.

Taken from the GURPS Alternate Earths book (I know it's a RPG book). In this one there is a different balance of power, with the CSA and Britain/Commonwealth being one side and USA / German Empire the other. They made Atlanta the largest city on earth ("The Big Peach").

Making this a tv series is a great source of salt, in my opinion. I mean people were fine with The Man In The High Castle, where Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan occupied the USA, but I guess a setting where slavery is still a thing would the one show that makes SJWs, BLMs and whatever left-wing raise the banners.

IRC the show is going to be based on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Victory
 
Someone mentioned "The Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove earlier in this thread, and the basic plot of the book did have the South winning, but you know what the irony of it all was?

It turned out to be better than actual history.

Lincoln lives, Robert E. Lee becomes the president of the Confederacy, figures out the racist assholes who handed the South AK-47s so they could win were lying their asses off about how the South's history was gonna work out (and also figured out Lincoln would have died in the normal course of history, which is another tipoff he was used by his apparent benefactors when he get ahold of a modern day history text), so when the racist time travelers try to murder him for realizing they were using him to alter history to make sure slavery was going to continue in perpetuity, he has them killed instead, and proceeds to have the Confederacy gradually manumission all the remaining slaves so the new timeline would have far better race relations by modern day.

Basically, alternate history what-ifs can be fun to explore.
